Editing Composite (Collage) Pages

by admin — last modified Jul 09, 2011 03:23 PM

Collage pages provide for including different kinds of complete content objects within a single page.

Use the Edit tab to edit the title and description of the object, and adjust settings. (This is how it works for many composite content objects, like folders and collections.)
To access the contained objects, use the Compose tab.

In the Compose tab:

There is an alternating vertical sequence of Row and Column entries
The Row and Column entries can be relocated with respect to their siblings using theirarrow controls.
Each Column entry can be associated with a content object, directly below it, using theCreate control.
Use the Edit control for a content items associated with a Column entry to change the content item. Use the View control to get a view by which you can change the content item's publication or sharing status, perform other actions on it, and also drop into editing it. (The Edit control is essentially a shortcut.) Similar for the other controls, except...
Use the Layout control to change the presentation of an item - try out the different ones to see the effects.
When done changing a particular item, its content views will include a Back to Collage link, to return to the Composition mode for the collage.

Don't forget to suitably adjust the publication state of the collage's constituent objects, or visitors to your collage might not see what you intend.
